PREVENT FIRES FROM STARTING . . .
UP -
NINE OUT OF TEN FIRES COULD BE PREVENTED IF YOU:
1. Kept matches away from tiny hands and encouraged adults to smoke
safely (and never in bed);
2. Stopped misusing electricity by improper fusing overloaded circuits
and defective wiring and appliances;
3. Had your heating equipment and chimney annually cleaned, inspected
and defects repaired;
4. Used fire-retardant roofing;
5. Never allowed gasoline, benzine, naptha, or similar volatile flammable
liquids in the home for any purpose. (Never use such flammable li-
. quids for dry cleaning or to kindle a fire);
6. Keep rubbish and unnecessary combustibles regularly removed from
your home.
PREVENT FIRES FROM SPREADING ...
FIRE CAN SPREAD WITH ASTONISHING SPEED from floor to floor,
through hollow partitions and up stairways. Existing buildings can be
made safer by:
1. Using fire-resistive materials wherever possible;
2. Cutting off basement from first floor by a heavy door;
3. Plastering basement ceiling with cement or gypsum plaster on metal
lath;
4. “Firestopping” hollow partitions at floor level (especially basement);
5. Installing automatic sprinklers in cellar;
6. If the garage is part of the house it should be separated by masonry
walls or at least by metal lath and cement or gypsum plaster. Any
door in these walls should be a fire door but access to the garage should
be preferable from the outside only.
7. Have an approved fire extinguisher of the right type available. Main
tain it in operative condition. Understand how to operate it.
